The Indian public health system is organized as a three-tiered pyramid, with primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare facilities. The cornerstone of healthcare delivery anywhere in the world is primary care. Even after primary healthcare reform, problems with poor infrastructure and a serious lack of medical staff and resources continued throughout time. The whole foundation of this study is secondary data acquired from various government publications, journals, and press releases retrieved from databases like google scholar, PubMed, science direct, and search engines like Google. An analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) was carried out using the structure and dynamics of primary healthcare systems as well as literature searches. Upgrades should be made to PHC delivery service facilities, newer housing should be built to meet population expansion demands, and a bottom-up strategy should be employed with a focus on community empowerment, illness prevention, and health promotion.
Public-private partnership (PPP) policies have been on the Turkish Government’s healthcare agenda for a long time. Türkiye has implemented a series of policies with various elements of neoliberal reforms over the last 20 years and the Turkish Government initiated the PPP policy in 2013 as the final step of the Health Transformation Program. This article reviews the policy process that led to extensive collaboration with the private sector in public health and also examines the effect of the policy on the principles of public service. Türkiye’s policy experience has elements that reinforce the principles of continuity, variability, and equality in many ways. However, this policy was found to have weakened the long-term financial viability of healthcare and led to its fragmentation and the government eventually abandoned this policy in the construction of new hospitals. Türkiye’s experience demonstrates that governments seeking to establish sustainable PPP policies for healthcare must consider the unique dynamics inherent to public service.

Introduction: Today, one of the ways to provide healthcare services and achieve the goals of health systems is the participation of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the health sector. The purpose of this study is to develop a model for the partnership of NGOs in Iran’s health system.
Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in three consecutive stages, between 2018-2021. In the first phase, by reviewing documents, literature, and interviews with 32 key informants from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Interior, universities of medical sciences, medical scientific associations, and health-related NGOs, using content analysis, the current status of the partnership of NGOs in Iran’s health system was examined. In the second stage, the initial model for NGOs partnership in Iran’s health system was extracted and surveyed by an expert panel consensus. In the third stage, after two rounds of the Delphi technique with a consensus of more than 75%, the final model was approved.
Results: Policy-making and planning, capacity building, provision of resources and facilities, organization and coordination, participation, and control and evaluation, are the six main dimensions of the model of NGOs’ partnership in Iran's health system.
Conclusion: It is expected that the main dimensions and sub-components of this model can help to develop and strengthen the role of NGOs in the Iranian health system. More participation of the NGOs in the health system facilitating the achievement of the goals of the health system and is effective to strengthen and improve public health.
